radiosensitive cancer cells are rapidly killed by modest doses of radiation. These include leukemia most lymphomas and germ cell tumors.
Materials and Equipment:
The source of radiation. The radiation is delivered by a machine outside of the body, or a radioactive material may be placed in the body near the cancer cells during surgery.
Side effects:
dry skin, itchiness, peeling, or blistering on the skin fatigue, which means that you are extremely tired and your muscles can't fully function.
Used when : They use radiation in the early stage of cancer to control or cure the disease, also they use it before the surgery to shrink the tumor or may be after the surgery to prevent the disease to come back.
